Recenzii
"Paul
B.
Ash
and
John
D'Auria
draw
on
their
deep
understanding
of
school
districts
to
help
explain
why
so
many
American
students
are
left
behind.
Their
solution—to
build
the
capacity
of
educators
through
collaboration
and
honest
reflection—should
make
their
book
required
reading
for
anyone
who
aspires
to
educational
leadership."
"School Systems That Learnapplies and extends organizational learning research to the K-12 school system context – an ambitious idea that is long overdue. Rooted in the authors' combined sixty years of experience in school leadership, the book shows how school systems that nurture and support the learning and development of their educators can produce higher achievement for all students. This is a carefully developed and immensely practical guide for educators on how to build trust, develop collaborative capacity, and foster leadership at all levels – from the classroom teacher to the superintendent."
"The authors use their collective experiences to promote the development of a school system in which all district staff and board members work together to improve all aspects of the educational experience. The authors emphasize the shift from individual mindsets to collegiality and collective responsibility, featuring trust, collaboration, capacity building and leadership opportunities cultivated at all levels of the organization."
